Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has accorded in-principle approval to introduce a biometric system for vehicle registration in the province during a meeting held in Lahore.

Addressing the meeting, he said that now vehicle registration will be possible through biometric verification instead of transfer order form.

He said that in future, citizens will not have to visit the offices of the Excise and Taxation Department for vehicle registration.

The Chief Minister directed the concerned authorities to expedite the process of issuance of number plates of vehicles.

He said that the facility of biometric verification will also be available at the showrooms of authorized vehicle dealers.
